Abstract

Apparatus for diagnosing the skin condition of a human being or animal, which includes a probe (10) for contacting a desired area of skin. The probe has an electrical resistance measuring device (14) for measuring the moisture content of the skin at the area and a sound meter with a sound receiving channel (16) extending down to a tip of the probe for measuring the sound generated by the skin at that area.
